PURPOSE OF COLLABORATIVE WORLD The use of collaborative learning as an instructional strategy is well documented in the literature. Collaborative learning provides many learning opportunities and is a common feature in many classroom settings.There is now a strong recognition in higher education of the value of learning environments which facilitate learners' active participation in the learning process. The use of the WWW appears to have the prospect to change the very individual nature of university teaching through its capacity to support and encourage collaborative environments.The effectiveness in any learning environment is based upon the types and levels of cognitive and metacognitive activity engendered in the learners. It is now widely accepted that learning is enhanced in instructional settings where students are engaged in processing personally relevant content and are reflective during the learning process.
